Thank god that's over

Okay I have finally escaped basketball season and not a second sooner, mind I tell you. That shit is ridculi and trying to cap it gives the Chuck severe migraines. I am primed and ready to tackle on the remainder of Baseball season and before you know it, it is time for football. There really is no greater football capper than myself. Just wanted you to be duly informed on my wagering acumen before I end this post. I will post any plays before the end of the day. Until then, remember that I have seen the future and it would behoove you to listen to my sage advice.

Blah Blah Blah Blah

Yeah I am a bit perturbed at the events that unfolded two nights ago but, at the same time, the Chuck was elated to escape with a push. My new total is 5,385 units. Currently, the line is set at Orlando -2. It is very tempting to take a stab at the Lakers winning this game tonight but after much thought and deliberation, the Chuck has decided to fade the Magic and lay the paltry 2 points. I like Orlando to win this game handily and even the series. I placed 600 units on tonight's game and fully expect to be rewarded tomorrow.

Let's try this one more time

Okay, I admit it. I was dreadfully wrong. I had to reasses myself after the 25 point blow out. As such, I will only be betting 500 units on the Orlando Magic tonight. The four point spread seems fair and I am still not convinced the Lakers are going to run away with this thing. That's it for now.

NBA Finals

The Chuck exercised some control and decided to take a hiatus from wagering. However, with the advent of the NBA finals tonight, I am back and better than ever. My last play was horrendous and I deserved to lose the 770 units I laid on Denver. With that loss, my new total stands at 6,535 units. I've had many days to ponder this matchup and I will play this game heavily.

When I was contemplating this series, I was looking at the matchups between the two teams and trying to identify any particular one that might pose a mismatch too difficult for one team to handle. Well, I have identified two. First, who the fuck is going to check Kobe? Pietrus? Not the best of the options but it will have to do. As egregious of a mismatch as that is, let me you ask you this. Who the fuck is going to check Dwight Howard? Andrew Bynum? Yeah, tell me how that one works out. This might be even more comical than Pietrus checking Kobe. Look, either matchup poses serious problems for the other team. As dominating as Kobe can be and maybe he can impose his will on this series but my money is going to be Dwight Howard in this game. This guy is monster and quite frankly, LA has no answers for this man. They can try to foul him like that genius Mike Brown attempted to do. By the way, how the hell does he still have his fucking job? I mean, I knowing stopping Howard is not easy but you sure as hell can come up with a better plan than fouling the man. But I digress. Phil is too smart to attempt any asinine approach that has already failed. He will deploy many bodies on Howard and try to wear him down. If the Magic can get outstanding perimeter support, I see them winning this game. As for Kobe, he's going to get his. What they have to do is stop Trevor Ariza and Gasol. Odom is a non factor and Fisher is nice point guard but what the Magic have to do is contain Kobe to 30 and stop Ariza. My gut feeling is that series goes six and the Magic will prevail. I look for Orlando to steal one of the first two games in LA. It can be game one or two, but with the number posted at 6, I doubt that it will matter. The Magic covers this number. The Chuck in his infinite wisdom has bet accordingly and put a princely sum of 1,000 units on the Orlando Magic +6. We'll see how that works out. Peace.

7,305 units is where my new total stands, thanks in large part to the Orlando Magic sucking big donkey balls at the end of the game. Ahh yes, I was counting my loot and giddy with anticipation of perhaps a Cleveland loss. But no, the powers that be snatched away a sure victory from the Chuck and he is none to pleased, let me tell you. Seems like the Chuck's crystal ball has some kinks in it.

I have one play tonight and that is in the association. The lakers are 5 point dog on the road and the Chuck has laid his money on the Nuggets to cover this spread. I know that five seems like an awful high number but I have a strong inclination that the Nuggets win this by double digits. I put another 700 units on this one.

Sure fire lock for free

Honestly, I cannot believe the Denver Nuggets laid down like they did last night and in the process costing the Chuck 660 units. At least I was prophetic in my assesment of Bret Myers and won 480 units on the Marlins to mitigate my losses. On the night, I was down 180 units, bringing my total to 8,075 units.

Looking to tonight's NBA game, the line is currently set at Cleveland +7 1/2. Out of curiousity, are the books watching the same freaking series as the Chuck. How Cleveland warrants a 7 1/2 point cushion is beyond comprehension and as such, the Chuck feels compelled to take the Magic to cover this number. Seeing that Cleveland has yet to cover a number bigger than 1, the Chuck laid a cool 700 units on this game. Look, Cleveland might win this game but this number is way too big and so far as I can see, the Cavaliers have no answer for Dwight Howard. He has been the bane of their existence this entire year. I will stick with the trend and do not be surprised to see Orlando win this contest outright. Always remember, the Chuck knows best.

Where's the fix?

So I was wrong. I'll admit it. The fix was not in and the Chuck loses 550 units. Serves me right. I should have listened to myself and realized the Cavaliers are a fraud. Either way I was wrong and now my total stands at 7,705 units.

Looking to tonight's NBA game, I was very tempted to jump on the early line of Lakers -5 1/2 and fade LA. However, after further inspection of this intriguing matchup, I have decided to go the other way. First, the line jumped to 6 and I had this image of all these idiots wearing propeller hats and rainbow suspenders betting the farm on LA. Then it dawned on me that Denver has figured this Laker team out. If not for their inability to inbound the ball, this team should be up 3-1. Now, I am not by any means endorsing a Denver victory but I am predicting that this game will be a lot closer than the line indicates. I have a hunch that this comes down to the final possession before a winner is declared. I took Denver and the six points for a cool 600 units.

I also played one baseball game, just to whet my appetite before I start playing these games in earnest. I took Florida to beat the Phils, laying 250 units to win 480 units. Bret Myers is an abomination and for him to be an almost 2-1 favorite is laughable.
